Thank you.
Yes, I think what you have pointed out is the difficulty in arriving at a dose or a recommended dose. In fact, that is why the current labelling for these products is that the products are not recommended for children.
One of the things we're looking at, because we do get that question—and I'm sure all of us will sometimes ask ourselves that question—is this: what are children? That is precisely what I think you are pointing out. A child who may be my size, is that a child? Or even though they may be 16 or 17.... Or if it's a person with some significant weight and stature, even though they might be 14, does that make a difference?
What you have pointed out is some of the difficulty that we have in the labelling around these products. In fact, that is why we've taken the broad approach of simply saying that these products are not recommended for children.
One of the things we are looking at now within the directorate is ways to clarify what is meant by “children” to better enable parents to read that information and know whether it is appropriate for the young girl or a larger person, depending on their age.
